Abstract

As a rule, the retrieval of trace gas profiles from atmospheric data sets is based on iterative methods. These iterative methods require initial guess profiles. Simulations showed that tropopause altitudes could be found from measurement data and feature vectors allowing the selection of improved initial guess profiles.
